Actually it is the one I choose over the other. Given that my Wii got a few thousand hours of playtime while my PS3 just sits there as a DVD/Blu-Ray player (the only game I ever got into was Ōkami, a game I could have actually gotten on the Wii if I wanted to) and my 360 sits there collecting dust, I don't see the need to buy a PS4 or Xbox One when I'm perfectly happy with the Wii U. Call me a casual, but I'd rather not spend money on something I'm not gonna use. I'm not saying that any of the non-Nintendo consoles are bad, in fact they're all pretty good from an objective point of view, but in my personal opinion they aren't worth getting.
